100% agree - the likes of ChatGPT are straight up generating revenue based on adding value to stolen work.

Lets turn this around the other way.

I create a omniscient copyright detection bot and face it at everything you create 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

You go home and sing happy birthday to your kid. The bot gives you a non-monetary warning for using a copyrighted work without permission. No big deal, but it is on your permanent record.

It had been a stressful day so you take up your evening hobby of painting. You like nature scenes and trees and 30 minutes in you receive a violation, evidently Bob Ross has already done this and his surviving estate is now asking you to destroy the picture.

The next day you go to into your job at the corporate bureaucracy slinging lines of javascript. It's been a productive day so far and you have a few hundred new lines of code written and then the bots going off and HR and legal are ringing the phone within seconds. Turns out some comment you'd saw on Stack Overflow years ago was imprinted in your memory well enough you committed a copyright violation. Looks like you'll be losing your job.

The first two situations you mention almost certainly aren’t copyright violations. The third is at least a solid “maybe.”

All of a sudden everyone has issues with free information when Google has been doing this for years.
